Said they (Chinese lady) were calling me because I had applied for something called "Drawon"!. Spoke for a bit I asked her where she was based and who she worked for. I said she was a scammer and she said she wasn't if I give he my email address she will send me something. (If I had applied they would already have it). She said I could call her customer services number on 0345 646 1021. She didn't have this to hand and had to look it up. I have blocked the number. I am pretty convinced that these are scammers
